Door construction:
It is the quality of the components that set our door systems apart from so-called “off the shelf” door systems. Here is a quick overview of the components we use to ensure the long life of your new door system.
- Flexible, all temperature weatherstripping blocks out wind and rain, keeps in heated or cooled air.
- Thermally efficient pine frame - finger-jointed to resist warping (white vinyl frame cladding available).
- Adhesive backed, die cut sill gasket prevents water seepage between the sill and frame.
- The aluminum sill is thermally broken to eliminate frost transfer. With the adjustable sweep this system provides a true barrier against water and air infiltration.
- Hot dipped, galvanized steel skins wrapped around top & bottom edges. Double wrapped around vertical edges for rigidity. Both steel skins resist cracking, splitting, rusting, and warping. A factory primer is applied.
- The solid wood lock block provides reinforcement in the critical lock area.
- Solid polyurethane foam core is injected between the two steel skins to fill every air space and permanently bonded to provide outstanding insulation and stability.
- Continuous wood perimeter provides a thermal break between outside and inside surfaces to eliminate frost and condensation.
- The multi-finned adjustable vinyl sweep and corner seals provide a positive seal that enhances insulation by keeping air and water from infiltrating. The seal also keeps pests out.
